Re: Opinion: this publicity, Linux doesn’t need

[Claude Larochelle]

Come on Borden!  Everything is not black or white!  From my point of view,
it is not a good move to do something that poeples will see as "agressive"
or to try to demonstrate that everyone that is going to the vista place are
wrong or something else.  Let the time working for us.  Bill is putting more
and more fences to those who don't want to pay for his products, and more
and more poeples are turning there self to os like Ubuntu because they
cannot use anymore ms product without buying it.  Show Bill that we are
strong, and we are not a weak group regarding this new version of windows.
And finally, remember what Ubuntu mean for Desmond Tutu:

*"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished,
when others are tortured or oppressed."

*This is for me what really mean of being part of Ubuntu community.

P.S. Sorry for my english writing, I know that it is not perfect, but I
think it is readable.
